<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>"We could be very active," said Thorn.... "When you look at our roster, we've got a lot of players now and we could still be active. We might add a combo type of guard or a point before all is said and done." Keyon Dooling is the most coveted combo guard, but after making $3.6 million last season in Orlando, he is looking for more than the Nets care to offer - unless they make those moves. Thorn said the guard could come from free agency or a trade. The attention is likely to focus on combo guards. "Don't really have one" in particular, Thorn said.</div> Dooling on Jersey's Radar - Fred Kerber I hope this does turn out to be true, and that we make a push for Dooling. He's a hell of a player, and I'd love to have him on this team.

I'd be ready to pay Dooling whatever he wants, if it's just 2 years long.
Orlando could use a big. Krstic (S&T at 3 yrs 10 million) and Marcus for Dooling at 4 years 16 million. Hopefully, we could work it out to be de-escalating deal. Mine as well sign Dooling long term, you have to have some players for Brooklyn. Marcus isnt great, but Orlando fills 2 needs for where they could of got nothing for Dooling. Maybe we could even throw Ager in the deal

We will not be able to do that by signing a backup point guard at 4 mill per year. Especially after the Najera deal. Were going to need around 20 million in cap space and that puts us over.
